Re: [MBZ] Mercedes pickup

[Jim Cathey]

The load of manure I hauled a few years ago would not have
been welcome in a T.  The old Chevy drew that duty.  The
_two_ ECO-blocks I brought home in the Dodge would have
strained a T's capabilities, to say the least.  A truck
is often well worth having.

If you need to haul people, get a sedan. If you need to haul stuff, 
get a truck, if you need to haul both, get one of each.


However, when we're hauling a 3000# camper, the extended-cab
full-bed truck is just the ticket.  It also generally gets
better mileage than anything else we drive.  (Campered it gets
in the 12-15 range, up to 26 unloaded on the freeway.)

The only thing it's bad at is knocking around town.  It's
big.  Hard to park.  I would never choose it as an only
vehicle, but it's a great second vehicle.

That MB pickup is just too weirdly styled for my taste.
The bed also looks rather small.  I think what I might really
like is an El-camino'd 107 SL.  That would be fun!

Do you have a utility trailer like Wilton and a hitch on the back of at 
least one of those wagons?
If not, I assume I could out haul you with my pickup truck without much 
trouble.
Try putting a full size refrigerator in the back of your wagon - or 
maybe a box spring and mattress etc.
I truly believe that the full sized crewcab pickup trucks that have been 
produced over the last 15 years or so are the best vehicles on the road.

Fast, quiet, utilitarian etc.

Depends on what and where you want to haul.
If you need to haul a long distance at high speed on the interstate, I 
doubt if a Unimog is going to be high on your list of possible vehicles.
On the other hand, a full sized pickup will haul a pretty good load at 
high speed for hours on end and be pretty comfortable along the way.

  Wouldn't want to drive that in the City.
 Don't know if there is an F150 with a crew cab and an 8 foot box but I
 think there are F250 and F350's with it.

Mercedes has doubtless been eyeing the profit margins on the loaded-up
Detroit clown shoe pickups with envy. Isn't Daimler the largest heavy truck
manufacturer in the world? They could make this work.  Think of it as a
Sierra Denali for the middle east.

Do you have a utility trailer like Wilton and a hitch on the back of at 
least one of those wagons?
If not, I assume I could out haul you with my pickup truck without much 
trouble.
Try putting a full size refrigerator in the back of your wagon - or maybe 
a box spring and mattress etc.
I truly believe that the full sized crewcab pickup trucks that have been 
produced over the last 15 years or so are the best vehicles on the road.

Fast, quiet, utilitarian etc.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes pickup

[OK Don]

I just hauled 2000 lb. of river rock for my wife earlier this week - hard
to do even with most utility trailers. I have never figured out the crewcab
pickups for anyone other than a construction manager. If you need to haul
people, get a sedan. If you need to haul stuff, get a truck, if you need to
haul both, get one of each.

'Think mine was an F150; it felt BIG, but not as big as others there.  It 
was way too big for what I needed - don't think I ever hauled anything in 
the bed other than some sand bags and snow.  The crew cab served very well 
many times, especially for showing military and government (American, 
British, Danish, Swedish, Canadian) officials around and into the 
boonies/tundra.

Yes it does. I presently own one as part of the Ford Diesel truck set of 5.
Owned two previously. Loved them.

The last one I bought is the Lariat model which has every luxury option
known to man, including electrically adjustable brake peddle so that along
with the 6 way power leather seats you can fit the truck to yourself
perfectly... It is however missing the auto nose pick and auto butt
scratch option. :))

I worked with a guy once who had these bad habits of picking his nose in 
meetings, scratching his huevos all the time, rearranging himself in front of 
the ladies, wasn't a hand-washer. Pretty much a pig. He was a Sr vp and had 
this black Porsche turbo he really liked. We all said it was fully equipped 
with ABS, automatic ball scratcher.
